How to apply Thermal Paste and Liquid Metal

Ойындар

Learn how thermal paste spreads on the CPU using different techniques and why we recommend a particular method. You'll also see how to properly apply liquid metal. Our DC2 thermal paste and DC2 Pro liquid metal come with accessories to achieve the best result.
Caution: Liquid metal is electrically conductive and you must be careful not to spill it on components on your motherboard. If it does, remove any residue with a cleaning agent such as isopropyl alcohol and dry it off before reconnecting power to your system, or you will risk a short circuit.

    Honestly, too much thermal paste is better than not enough. If it leaks on to your motherboard it won't hurt anything, it just looks bad. Liquid metal, on the other hand, can destroy your motherboard if not done correctly.

    I think that that's because, unlike the base of a cooler, the glass is resting on top of the "clasp" surrounding the CPU and not on the CPU itself. That's why it can touch and spread (to a point) the paste that was put on the CPU in a blob or an X, but doesn't get low enough to make contact with the paste that has already been spread thin. Again, an actual cooler would not have that issue. It goes both ways, though, as a cooler would help the paste spread a little further in the other cases, but it probably wouldn't be perfect - we already have some overspill, especially in the top right, as well as large uncovered areas, so unless there is a significant excess of paste, it's likely that we wouldn't have full coverage.

    Note of warning to anyone who saw the liquid metal part. While the ihs will be fine, you dont want that metal to be on anything made of aluminium. It will eat right through it and amalgamate with the aliminum causing it to become extremely brittle and weak. Only use if your cooler has a copper or nickel contact point and if using normally/vertically, make sure that liquid metal doesnt go anywhere else and in all honesty, imo, liquid metal thermal compounds just arent worth the risk for the 10 ish degrees it can knock off

At a higher load you may see a 10-12C Deltas but at lower loads they will run within 2C, if there is even coverage of your TIM. If one side or end is running hot on a low load, reapply your TIM.

    you have to think though, the forces on the ihs are going to be significantly higher when one actually mounts a cooler, vs just pushing on a piece of clear plastic. There is a reason every gpu overclocker does a manual spread on the die when they do a repaste, and that is that full contact is a necessity on direct die coolers.

    The spread of thermal paste is better when you don’t spread it manually because when you clamp the heatsink it will apply pressure to evenly spread the paste to where it needs to go. Furthermore when the CPU heats up the thermal paste will spread even more.

    Just have a look at the video please. To go a bit further, with older gen cpu a pea in the middle was accurate and sufficient. But then X became better as it spread a bit better but still not covering the whole IHS. Current CPU architecture are more complexe and have spread a bit more on the die. Spreading a thin layer of thermal paste benefit the maximum surface of the IHS to transfer heat to cooling solution. TL;DR Spreading is actually the best for modern CPU. You were right but like at least 7 to 10 years before. PS : Not saying though it is bad and don’t work. That’s just not the best. 😊

    Its forms an alloy with several other metals with contact, which is something totally different than corrosion chemically speaking. And yeah, it eats away for example aluminum and an can diffuse into pure copper over time which leads it do "dry out". But nickel plated copper aka basically all heatsinks and many coolers is mostly resistant to it. Or if the copper is saturated with it (gallium) already that dry out effect shouldn't be a problem as well.

I AM switching to a conventional paste after this upcoming coolant change though, just because conductonaut DOES leave you a shade timid and possibly use too little. And honestly, the results are so comparable to a normal paste that it's peace of mind just to know there isn't something conductive there. I'm just trying to figure which one to go with.

    There are so many ignorant people here. Thermal paste is needed not for heat removal, but for better pressure and elimination of air pockets between the heat distribution cover and the cooler. Therefore, the distribution of thermal paste should be uniform, and not more on one side and less on the other.

    You picked literally the WORST option as best. Look at those huge air bubbles right in the middle in the hotspot. It will be even worse with a real cooler since they are slightly concave at the hotspot. You are basically trapping air right in the middle with thermal paste at the edges preventing it from escaping. We are not laying bricks here.

    Another great method I saw being used by a CPU fan manufacturer is to put nine equally spaced dots of thermal paste on the CPU. It seems to give great coverage. Of course the key is knowing how much to apply in each dot. I think that's the most difficult part. It must also depend on how viscous the thermal paste is. I have a couple of spare tubes of thermal paste, so I'm planning on doing a few tests under some glass, to see which technique works best for me.

    I've done more than 10 liquid metal applications/reapplications. Not only do you need to spread liquid metal on the cpu/gpu. You will also need to have the same spread on the heatsink cold plate side. This is to ensure that the liquid metal on both sides bonding together when the heatsink cold plate touches the cpu/gpu, so as to eliminate odd hotspots forming. There is also a certain level of experience needed to know how much liquid metal to spread around. Too much, and you risk it dripping off and damaging hardware. Too little, and you get hotspots where the liquid metal isn't enough, the user will only find out through trial and error.
